The extension (5) has a two-legged angle backpressure rib (6) and the extension end part forms a press-in anchoring component (7). The flange (4) should run at right angles to the extension (5) of the base (2).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anschlagdichtung für einen Tür- oder Fensterfalz oder dergleichen mit einem Verankerungsteil zum Verankern der Dichtung im Rahmen oder im Tür- oder Fensterflügel, einer sich an den Verankerungsteil anschließenden Basis, einer Dichtlippe, die von einer Seite der Basis ausgeht und einem Stützsteg, der zwischen der anderen Seite der Basis und der Dichtlippe verläuft.The invention relates to a stop seal for a Door or window rebate or the like with an anchoring part for anchoring the seal in the frame or in the door or Casement, one adjoining the anchoring part Base, a sealing lip from one side of the base goes out and a support bridge that is between the other side of the Base and the sealing lip runs.

Ein derartige Anschlagdichtung ist aus der DE 43 38 794 C1, DE 295 12 613 U1 oder der DE 295 12 778 U1 bekannt.Such a stop seal is from DE 43 38 794 C1, DE 295 12 613 U1 or DE 295 12 778 U1 known.

Für die Abdichtung von Fenstern und Türen, insbesondere von Haustüren ist es von besonderer Bedeutung, daß die auftretenden relativ großen Deformationen, die beispielsweise als kissenförmige Durchbiegungen bezeichnet werden, aufgefangen werden. Diese Deformationen treten beispielsweise bei Holztüren durch die unterschiedliche Feuchteaufnahme zwischen der Innenseite und der Außenseite, bei Kunststofftüren durch die starke Wärmedehnung des Kunststoffes und bei thermisch getrennten Aluminiumtüren durch den sogenannten Bimetalleffekt infolge von Wärmedehnungen auf.For sealing windows and doors, in particular From front doors it is of particular importance that the occurring relatively large deformations, for example as pillow-shaped deflections are captured become. These deformations occur, for example, with wooden doors due to the different moisture absorption between the inside and the outside, with plastic doors through the strong Thermal expansion of the plastic and thermally separated Aluminum doors due to the so-called bimetal effect due to Thermal expansion.

Auch die zunehmend höhere vorgesehene Dämmung bewirkt eine stärkere Deformation, so daß von Anschlagdichtungen größere Spalttoleranzen aufgefangen werden müssen.The increasingly higher intended insulation also causes one stronger deformation, so that stop seals larger Gap tolerances must be compensated.

Anschlagdichtungen sollten daher einen möglichst großen Dichtungsweg, das heißt ein großes Dichtungswirkmaß haben, um mit diesem Problem fertig zu werden. Dabei muß stets berücksichtigt werden, daß die Dichtung ein gutes Rückstellverhalten bei möglichst geringem Kraftanstieg hat.Stop seals should therefore be as large as possible Sealing path, that is to say having a large sealing efficiency to cope with this problem. It must always be taken into account be that the seal has good resilience with the smallest possible increase in force.

Die eingangs erwähnten bekannten Anschlagdichtungen können jedoch nur geringe Spalttoleranzen kompensieren, da sie über relativ kleine Dichtungswege verfügen.The known stop seals mentioned at the outset can however, only compensate for small gap tolerances as they are over have relatively small sealing paths.

Darüber hinaus ist es mittels der bekannten Anschlagdichtungen nicht möglich, die zwischen dem Rahmen und dem Tür- oder Fensterflügel bestehende Fuge zu überdecken.In addition, it is by means of the known stop seals not possible between the frame and the door or Window sash to cover existing joint.

Die der Erfindung zugrunde liegende Aufgabe besteht daher darin, die Anschlagdichtung der eingangs genannten Art so auszugestalten, daß sie einen großen Dichtungsweg und damit ein hohes Dichtungswirkmaß hat.The object underlying the invention is therefore in the stop seal of the type mentioned above to design that they have a large seal path and thus a has high sealing efficiency.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung durch die Ausbildung gelöst, die im Patentanspruch 1 angegeben ist.This object is achieved according to the invention through training solved, which is specified in claim 1.

Besonders bevorzugte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der erfindungsgemäßen Anschlagdichtung sind Gegenstand der Patentansprüche 2 bis 5.Particularly preferred refinements and developments the stop seal according to the invention are the subject of Claims 2 to 5.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Anschlagdichtung ist im Gegensatz zu den bekannten Anschlagdichtungen eine mitfedernde Basis vorgesehen und ist gewährleistet, daß die Dichtung einen großen Dichtungsweg hat.In contrast, the stop seal according to the invention a resilient base to the well-known stop seals provided and ensures that the seal has a large Has sealing path.

Insbesondere aufgrund der Ausbildung der Basisverlängerung mit abgewinkelter Gegendruckrippe und Eindrückanker kann die zwischen dem Rahmen und dem Tür- oder Fensterflügel bestehende Fuge überdeckt werden.In particular due to the design of the basic extension with an angled counter pressure rib and press-in anchor, the existing between the frame and the door or window sash Joint are covered.

Der große Dichtungsweg wurde bei der erfindungsgemäßen Anschlagdichtung darüber hinaus bei einem sehr geringen Anstieg der Dichtungskraft erzielt.The large seal path was the stop seal according to the invention moreover with a very slight increase the sealing force achieved.

Die erfindungsgemäße Anschlagdichtung ist leicht einsetzbar.The stop seal according to the invention is easy to use.
